About Me:
Graduated from Tiverton High School in 2017... four-time all-academic for varsity football squad, setting the record for single season rushing touchdowns (24), rushing yards (1,633), and rushing yards in a single game (278). We were a triple option offense and we all played both ways, which allowed me to finish my high school career with a second team all-state free safety position.
Graduated from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in 2021, four-year starter and two-year captain, winning MASCAC Rookie of the Year in 2017, Second-Team All-Conference in 2018, First-Team All-Conference in 2019, and MASCAC Offensive Player of the Year in 2019. Unfortunately, COVID canceled our 2020 season and a knee injury ended my 2021 season in our season opener. After a long list of injuries, I decided to end my playing career all together, playing in 26 games (only finishing 21), throwing for 5477 yards, 47 TDs, and rushing for 921 yards and 13 TDs.
How I can help you improve your game:
My profile my have a lot to do with the quarterback position, however, I am capable of working with any skilled position on the field. I will help with the building blocks, the fundamentals that help all athletes build their game. I believe in breaking things down and then building them back up to game speed. My goal will always be to help an athlete become as comfortable as possible that way there is less thinking and more playing.
Due to my long history with the game I will come with a complete training/practice plan for the day. Traditionally, I like to begin with a basic evaluation to see what level an athlete may be at and where the training should begin. Once that is determined and an athlete expresses their weaknesses or things they want to work on, I'll specifically work drills that help that technique. Upon the end of the session I like to get a few full speed/game simulated reps in to help tie all the fundamentals together.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
0:00 - Stretch/Warm-up
15:00 - Fundamental Breakdown of the position based skill (0%-50% speed)
This will be determined through a day 1 evaluation or a communicated want to work on a specific
skill/technique
20:00 - Use of skill in drills (75%-100% speed)
40:00 - Full Speed, game like situational drills
60:00 - Recap
60:00 + Willing to extend based on the session, athlete, and time restraints for no additional cost
Football specific film sessions can be provided upon request. This would be design specifically for the athlete, whether through their personal game film or film related to their request.
Career summary and accomplishments:
My coaching journey began as the Quarterbacks Coach at the University of Massachusetts in 2021. Due to me also being a student and former player, I was able to work with the athletes at a very close level. I coached a quarterback room on 3 freshman, one of which won the starting job. I worked extremely closely with the skilled positions during that season and we ended up finishing 7-3, with our freshman QB winning Rookie of the Year for the conference. He is now one of the top QBs in Division 3 and last season won the New England Football Writers College Division Season Gold Helmet Award, which is presented to to the most valuable player in Divisions II and III. I held this position until the spring of 2022 before relocating to South Florida for work. I also served as the Quarterbacks Coach, Defensive Backs Coach and Passing Game Coordinator for Taravella High School in Coral Springs, Florida for the spring season in 2024. This came to an end due to a work related relocation that put me in Fort Worth, Texas. In between these coaching positions, I have worked with individuals who play any position of the field, through individual or group training sessions.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my high school football coach. He was the ultimate role model, a complete student of the game, and an incredible teacher. His dedication to the kids he worked with allowed him to grow a bond and grow trust within everyone. He taught us much more than just the game, including the many life lessons that are so intertwined in sports. Of course I learned more about the game of football in college, and had some of the best coaching I'll ever get in those years, but the ability that my high school football coach had to teach the proper fundamentals and help grow me as a young man is what ultimately allowed me to succeed at the next level.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am willing to travel anywhere nearby the Fort Worth area as long as the timing works. I am a civil engineer, so there may be some times that I am unavailable, however, week nights and weekends are fully open to help coach/work with any athlete.
A little background on who I am and how I got here... My father is a teacher and football coach, I grew up on a football field at double sessions, in a weight room and on a chalk board. I've seen and experienced how different coaching techniques can help/hurt different athletes my entire life. The ability for a coach for be adaptive to his athletes is what makes a coach successful. I believe that fundamentals and hard work can lead someone to whatever opportunity someone is set out for. I'm willing to work with athletes on what they may be struggling with, starting from the ground up, and work with them until they ultimately feel comfortable with the task at hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
